    Don't form thoughts - Trust politicians
    Forfeit soul - Pursue religion
    Lose free will to gain protection
    Sink the ship with good intention

    See our minds become conditioned
    As we swear by these traditions
    Lose our hearts and breed division

    Oh my God why can't we wake up?

    They're selling heaven tonight (Oh-ooo)
    Sign on the dotted line (Oh!)
    They got your Christ on copyright

    To think you know who goes to heaven
    Is just one big misconception
    Like God hates fags and communism
    Create fear to
    Feed the system, Feed the system

    They're selling heaven tonight
    Sign on the dotted line
    They got your Christ on copyright

    (We are not machines)

    If they scream loud
    They might muscle the crowd
    But we won't bow down
    No, we won't bow down

    They're selling heaven tonight... (And it's not alright)

    They're selling heaven tonight
    Sign on the dotted line
    They got your Christ on copyright

    Alice in Chains – "Phantom Limb"

    No hope of rescue
    I'm trapped here alone
    If I don't dig my own way out
    I'll die here

    Gave my loyalty too soon
    Now the forked-tongue piper's bill is due

    Weather is shifting
    So cold, going numb
    Through a pinhole of light
    I see vultures circling

    Bottom feeders pick my skin
    Weathered brain, a parasite within

    Ego pulverized
    No better medicine
    Angels have been advised
    Don't want no requiem

    I'll just haunt you like a phantom limb
    I'll just haunt you like a phantom limb
    Gonna wear you like a second skin
    I'll haunt you like a phantom limb

    Yeah, yeah

    Every new second
    Getting harder to breathe
    No matter which side I end up on
    This ain't over

    My regrets are many, true
    Still so much worse lies ahead for you

    Ego pulverized
    No better medicine
    Angels have been advised
    Don't want no requiem

    I'll just haunt you like a phantom limb
    I'll just haunt you like a phantom limb
    Gonna wear you like a second skin
    I'll haunt you like a phantom limb.

    Ben Folds- Fred Jones Pt 2

    ...like a runaway train
    Where the passengers change
    They don't change anything
    They get off
    Someone else can get on

    And I'm sorry, Mr. Jones, it's time


    LP - iridescent

    You felt the gravity of tempered grace
    Falling into empty space
    No one there to catch you in their arms

    Motion City Soundtrack - half their discography
    Their singer can capture a feeling or put words to a situation better than just about anyone else I've heard

    Here's L.G. FUAD

    Let's get fucked up and die..
    I'm speaking figuratively, of course..
    Like the last time that I committed suicide.. social suicide..
    Yeah, so I'm already dead on the inside,
    But I can still pretend with my memories and photographs,
    I have learned to love the lie.

    I wanna know what it's like to be awkward and innocent, not belligerent.
    I wanna know how it feels to be useful and pertinent and have common sense.. yeah
    Let me in, let me in to the club, cuz I wanna belong,
    And I need to get strong, and if memory serves,
    I'm addicted to words and they're useless.

    (In this department)
    Let's get fucked up and die..
    I'm riding hard on the last lines of every lie,
    And the BMX bike of my life is about to explode,
    I'm about to explode.
    I'm a mess, I'm a wreck.
    I am perfect, and I have learned to accept all my problems and short comings,
    Cause I am so visceral, yet deeply inept.

    I want to thank you for being a part of my forget-me-nots and marigolds..
    And all the things that don't get old..
    Is it legal to do this? I surely don't know.
    It's the only way I have learned to express myself
    through other peoples' descriptions of life..

    I'm afraid I'm alone and entirely useless...

    (In this department)
    Let's get fucked up and die.
    For the last time with feeling
    we'll try not to smile
    As we cover our heads and drink heavily into the nights
    That still shock and surprise.
    I believe that I can, overcome this and beat everything in the end
    But I choose to abuse for the time being,
    maybe I'll win, but for now I've decided to die.

    Sister soldier
    You’ve been such a positive influence on my mental frame
    If I could ever repay you,
    I would, but I'm hard up for cash
    And my memory lacks initiative.

    God damn the liquor store's closed,
    we were so close to scoring
    it hurts, it destroys 'til it kills..
    I am tired and hungry and totally useless.

    i really like these lyrics:

    "City Of Dust"

    Meet me otherside
    Under my skin, where you sleep inside
    Under my skin, where you see with my eyes
    Tell me are we what we see
    Missing what we leave
    In the city of dust

    The night is falling down
    And it's giving you away, oh
    Giving you away, oh
    Giving you away

    We should've stayed home
    Now we're here with our minds gone
    And it's giving you away, oh
    Giving you away

    Meet me otherside
    In this lonely town filled with strange lights
    In this lonely town blessed with constant night
    Tell me are we what we see
    The unknown's chasing me
    Through the city of dust

    The night is falling down
    And it's giving you away, oh
    Giving you away, oh
    Giving you away
    We should've stayed home
    Now we're here with our minds gone
    And it's giving you away, oh
    Giving you away

    The rain has come and it's time to go home
    To a place i belong
    The rain has come and it's time to go home
    To a place i belong, whereever it might be, whereever it might be

    Thanks. That's hardly all, too. Nothing More's lyrics are among the strongest I've ever heard in so many aspects - Whether the message be angry and centered around uprooting a hypocritical concept, or be insightful and about the silver lining. And everywhere in between.

    They're very diverse on their topics of choice and blow each one away to put it plainly. Here's some more examples.

    Ocean Floor (Partial "Ballast")
    When did we become these sinking stones?
    When did we build this broken home?
    Holding each other like ransom notes
    Dropping our hearts to grip our brother's throat

    I'm on the bottom of the ocean floor
    Eye for eye, drowning just to keep the score
    Blaming the world outside ourselves
    Surrounded by mirrors in a sinking shell

    I'll Be Okay
    We live in the rain, a sea of change
    You can't keep anything you take
    The lovely face of lives we chase
    Is but dust for wind to take
    When all is gone, the only loss
    Is to not have loved at every cost
    When you can say, and I can say
    We loved with every step we take, I'll be ok

    How do you love when your heart is broken?
    How do you speak when you feel outspoken?
    I can forgive and be forgiven
    By learning to heal with a heart wide open

    With open hearts, despite the stakes
    We take a chance on our mistakes
    A brand new day, we will embrace
    An open wound that heals with grace
    In all the fears that we will face
    In this time, and in this place
    When you can say, and I can say
    We loved with every step we take, I'll be ok
    I'll be ok...

    Jenny
    A little sleep, a little slumber
    A little fold of the hands
    Left you weak, left you hungry
    When there's supply you still demand
    You're beginning to drag the ones you love down
    Will this phase ever end?
    A thousand arms to hold you, but you won't reach for any hands

    I don't feel like I'm getting through to you
    Let me paint this clear, Life is short, my dear
    See your mother here, her last painful year
    I wish you only knew
    She stuck around for you

    Maybe you should just fall
    Leave the word and lose it all
    And if that's what you need
    To finally see
    I'll be with you through it all

    Bring on the pills, roll that dollar bill
    Medicating will never heal
    Relapse, rehab, repeat
    Always thinking about the me, me, me
    ​Self-destruct, spiral down
    Until your want becomes your need
    Please get up like I know you can
    Or forever love the fall

    (Catchy bridge again, into chorus)

    I can't stand to see you down
    Strung out, off the wagon, and unwound
    But steady.. steady..
    Oh God, Jenny. Jenny.
    I can't bear to hear the sound
    Of your body hitting the ground
    (x2)​

    Maybe you should just fall
    Leave the world and lose it all
    And if that's what you need
    To finally see that she loved you through it all

    First song I thought of, too. The "Version 2" RWIB is amazing.

    As long as we're discussing NIN and lyrics, "Zero-Sum" is probably my favorite.

    Thrice - The Whaler

    My lover's arms,
    they beg me to stay.
    But I know the storms,
    they will sweep me away.

    My daughter's eyes,
    they are two tiny seas,
    whose water will rise
    and then run down her cheeks.

    "Father where do you go,
    so far out upon the sea,
    when are you coming home to me?"
    "Darling why do you leave,
    as the north wind begins to blow?
    Will you be coming home to me?"

    The boat and the blade,
    they are all that I know;
    the sea calls my name,
    and so I must go.

    And while they still sleep,
    I slip out through the door;
    but how can I leave,
    with my anchors ashore?

    "Father where do you go?
    It's farther than I can see,
    when are you coming home to me?"
    "Darling why do you leave,
    as the north wind begins to blow?
    Will you be coming home to me?"
